September 5, 2010
Dear Woody, I won't be able to attend this service for Sunnie because I am not feeling well and in a lot of pain. I will be thinking about you and your family as you gather at Evergreen to lay her to rest. I extend to your family my deepest sympathy in your loss. She was not only my cousin but a treasured friend also. I am now the last of our generation in the Stanley family to survive. Irene H.Stanley, daughter of Roy Benton and Thelma Harless Stanley.
